RESEARCH INTERESTS
Her
research interests are analytical chemiluminescence
(CL) and electrochemiluminescence (ECL), and
their applications in interdisciplinary fields including public health,
food safety, and environmental monitoring. Over the past 32 years, great
progress has been made by her research group to develop new CL/ECL-based
analytical concept and principle and to better understand these analytical
methods. Her group has developed a potential-resolved ECL method that has
become an effective tool for studying ECL mechanisms. Her group has
pioneered the study of metal nanoparticle-initiated CL and ECL, and
developed direct strategies for the preparation of a variety of CL/ECL
functionalized nanomaterials and ultrasensitive CL/ECL biosensors. Very
recently, ground breaking progress has been made in CL reagent/catalyst bifunctionalized nanomaterials, which enabled unique
and superior catalytic activity for the catalysts grafted on the surface of
CL/ECL functional nanomaterials. These results have provided novel
strategies to address fundamental challenges of CL and ECL as powerful
analytical and bioanalytical methods. Moreover, she has authored and
co-authored over 130 publications on reputed international journals; She
has been invited to deliver plenary lectures at international conferences
such as International Symposium on Bioluminescence & Chemiluminescence and workshop on Electrogenerated
Chemiluminescence, etc.
